Donald Trump detailed to an emotional crowd at the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee the assassination attempt he suffered on Saturday and paid tribute to the former firefighter killed in the attack.
Shortly after formally accepting the Republican presidential nomination on Thursday night, Donald Trump addressed thousands of supporters who greeted him as a hero at the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee to describe how he felt during the attack on Saturday, but stressed that he would never tell the story again because it was “too painful.”
“I heard a loud buzzing sound and felt something hit me really hard in my right ear. I said to myself, ‘Wow, what was that? It must have been a bullet,'” he said in front of the crowd, who stood silent and listened to him.
When he told the crowd in Milwaukee that he “shouldn’t have been here,” delegates shouted, “Yes, you are here!”
In his first and only speech on Thursday, former President Donald Trump, who lasted 90 minutes, said the “divisions and divisions” in American society “must be healed” as he formally accepted the Republican presidential nomination. The former US president outlined his vision for the country and recounted his experience of being assassinated last Saturday.
“I stand before you tonight with a message of confidence, strength and hope. In four months, we will win an incredible victory and begin the four greatest years in the history of our country. I am running for president of all of America, not half of America, because there is no victory in winning half of America,” the Republican candidate said.
Trump attacked Biden’s administration, saying the politician was destroying the country and that he would start “World War III” if the Democrat remained in the position he currently holds, citing Reuters.
“I can end wars with a phone call,” he assured Republicans.
The theme that marked the fourth day of the convention was immigration: “They come from prisons, they come from jails, they come from mental hospitals and asylums.”
The former president set a new record by delivering the longest speech in history on the fourth and final day of the Republican National Convention.
